Hello Tobias, Fujitsu Laptop and TMNT!

Today has been a long day. Got woken up by the noisy renovations at Senior Citizens' Corner directly downstairs, town council wanted to clear the whole area. The corner has held many memories for me and my family for the past 12 yrs since we moved to this ulu block in Tampines lor. Used to mug for exams real hard at the blue tiled tables there for pri, sec and poly exams, thought of doing again for my uni exams but no chance for it liao lor. Haha!!

Took a cab down to Mount Alvernia Hospital from home this morning, cos Pat and the others were there at 11 plus already! They called me at 10 plus when I was still slping in lalaland lah! Had only 1h to bathe and get ready and travel, thought of taking a bus down but no time. Cynthia gave birth to another little boy, cute lil Deacon Lim! Her 1st son is equally handsome, Darrius Lim, his eyes are BIG and he got this smile that make ladies of all ages melt =D

Baby Darrius (taken from Cynthia's PC wallpaper)

Forgot to take a pic of Deacon today cos too excited when I saw him slping sweetly in the cot. Haha!! Such a small lil thing! I stroked his cheeks and hair, and he felt my touch and gave that irritated snarl while slping. 10 pple had done so b4 I came, hence the irritation ba.. His eyes are so small, heehee!! He was wrapped so tightly in that baby blue and white blanket, reminded me of how baby Jesus might have looked when he was born! Haha!! Babies are bundles of joy to the family, but when they cry... haiyo spare me pls! Deacon looked like his papa, have very black hair at 4 days old! Deacon was born on 23rd March 2007, at 2.9kg. He now share the same bdae as Amanda Leow *my unofficial sister*, juz that its 20 yrs later. Hahaha!!

Did bit of catching up over lunch with these ex-colleagues of mine, so much have happened to the dept since I left 1 mth ago. Oh, the food at the hospital cafe is gd, should go try the fish curry, mee siam and laksa there man! Pat and the other ladies said I lost weight after resigning, I have indeed lost 2kg though bcos everyday eat 2 moderate meals only. Thankfully I'm still acceptable weight~ I'm not anoxeric or trying to be model-skinny hor, God juz bless me with this genetically great body of mine and I'm loving every moment of it!!! Psst~ Dun worry Shi Yun, you are looking real gd now, dun be too body-conscious ya. Everytime you think you having the fat days, take out your sec 1 pic. You will feel 100x better!!

So they were telling me that Infineon Subcon dept gonna have a re-organisation structure again, they juz did so few mths back. Patsy, aka "Yakun" or "Pastry", who is Gafar's secretary, is 1 whole irritiating lady!! Arghh.. she always create trouble and spread rumours and complain abt every1 cos she thinks the dept hates her.. well that is true though. Alan today last day at Subcon dept, finally!! He deserve a better prospect job lah, most prob he gonna transfer to another dept as perm staff, which is better for him. Plus he dun have to be 亚坤的出气筒 (Yakun's frustration punching bag) anymore!!! God bless you and all the best to your future endeavours, Alan! You have been an amazing colleague and fren to me man!!

Headed down to Sim Lim Sq for get a laptop for my sis. Bought a beautiful Fujitsu 13.3" laptop, its worth the $$. God have blessed us with a gd promo deal although the promo had ended yesterday. The salesman said he could extend it for us till 2.30pm due to some time difference at US, bcos when I was at the shop it was already 2.20pm. After much discussion with sis n papa, we snatched the last deal!! Great, it suited all the expectations my sis needed, excluding that fingerprint recognition technology thing lah.. Plus a free upgrade to 1.5MB RAM, mouse and speakers!(http://www.fujitsu.com/sg/services/computing/pc/products/notebook/s/s2110/specs.html) It should be a gd investment, based on the specs I chose for her. She cfm got write how happy she is in her own blog, go check out Joanna in my links.

Caught Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles with Amos, Simon, Darren, Janice and sis. I will give a 3.5 to 4 outta 5. The plot was gd and funny, but it was quite short for a action cartoon movie, and its all CG. Little childhood memories were relived in this movie except for the names of the 4 turtles. It has no links to the silly cartoons we used to watch donkey yrs ago on TV 12 (now Kids Central) lor. Happy ending as usual, but we smelt hints for TMNT 2 during the last 5 mins of the show. Haiz must follow again.. Dinner w them was alrite, talking nonsense as usual. Love their company, never fail to make me happy and laugh w/o a care =) Thanks guys, love ya all loads!!

Now I'm contemplating between revision for tml lecture or bedtime. Hmm lemme think.... I guess I will be a gd gal and revise till morning, at least I can slept through the noisy renovs in the daytime! Alrite, I like being an night owl, the peaceful night and no disturbance of birds chirping or crowing, no mrt trains running by the tracks every 3-5mins, and best of all quiet devotion!! Ok i go pom pom then revision time liao! Goodnight to the normal pple who got work and studies tml, and hello to all owls (Amos, sis, Su Ping n more)!! Get ready your nx meal of the night, its gonna be another few hours b4 bedtime guys! I got my last instant cup noodles on standby mode now, anytime ready to attack into my stomach! Chiong arrrrrr~~~

*Update: Deacon is now known as Tobias!*

Sleepy, Happy, Relieved!

Ho ho ho~ Darren's back, safe and sound! That's great to see him back in 1 piece.

Today full day lecture class, was dozing off most of the time lah. Too tired to concentrate and listen to lecturer already. Slept at 7.30am this morning, when I 'm supposed to be up at 8.30am for classes lah, literally 1h slp only. Was rushing the stupid assignment, that's why drag till this morning. My gosh, I was so tired to write till I could not even draw a line straight or write a alphabet out.

Missed morning church svc, but went for evening one instead. Dinner with the "older youths" was nice, had fun ka jiao-ing Apple and Janice!! Been so long since we last chatted with them lor. Both were my net group leaders b4, including Lynn, Heather, George and Simon. Time flies so fast, we did lotsa reminicising of our childhood days etc. Appreciate all of them so much, they have influenced my life sumhow in different ways! *hugs them all*

I need my beauty sleep now, too tired to type further. The pimples popping out all over my face, its been many many mths since I got such bad breakout!!! OH NO!!!! Goodnight~

On Track

Han Ping! What a thing to perk me up on a sleepy and boring Saturday nite! One of the best news I've heard so far this week lah. I'm so happy for you, my best bro. Hahaha~ what a surprise you gave me! Alrite man, you better jia you from now on hor. Pamper her like a queen! I'm still smiling since the moment you told me this news 20mins ago.. LOL! But why ain't I the 1st to know?!! So disappointing leh! But still, CONGRATS to you both!!


Wacky kids: Han Ping, me and Shi Yun! (3 yrs ago)


Same wacky kids: Han Ping, me and Shi Yun! (2 mths ago)

Eh nope, its not Shi Yun. Dun be silly. She's happily attached to her 2 years plus bf already.

Oh well, I'm still single and I'm loving every moment of it. NO reporting to do, NO obligations and NO committments, NO sulky face to look at when I do sth upsetting to the other party, best of all NO restrictions!!! I love being single, although lonely moments do pop in once in awhile.

Most of all, I LOVE my Lord God!! I'm not trying to be religious or anything here, I'm just happy and proud to have Him in my life! I've been thru' terrible times for the past 5 yrs, and now I'm back to Him after 1 BIG round of nonsense acts =) Thank you Lord for being so gracious and loving to me!!

Heard from Amos that our net group got 3 pre-teens kids coming to join us as of next Thursday! Great, the group is expanding. Lost count of the no. of members we got currently liao, but still thank God! Oh great, Horlicks (Darren Ho) is finally coming back from his diving holiday tml!! Pray that he's safe and sound swimming around South China Sea though. So happy, only 3 days but I miss him already. Lalalala.. Gonna disturb this big monster and ask him if he indeed saw any whale sharks anot! Hahaha!! Alrite, back to studies.. Sian 1/2, tml still got lecture full day, on a happy Sunday!! Wah lao~

Playing Hard is Tiring!

Today past real quick, maybe it was bcos I was too busy having fun with my buddies. Finally we found time to meet up today!! I'm so happy =)

Just realised today how road-idiot Shi Yun can get, dunno how to find her way to new places or roads.. LOL~ went Kbox at Parkway Parade, realised how outdated was I with those latest chinese pop songs lah. Singing for 5h straight can be real tiring sia.. Ying Xi, look's like we gotta start those long sessions of choir training Christina Peh always ask SHSS choir to do liao.. Improve our singing stamina etc etc..

The bad thing that happened to me today: I took the bus from wrong bus stop to go home.. ended up elsewhere - or rather should I say to Toa Payoh instead of Tampines. I was so pissed by my mistake and very worried that I no $$ take bus home cos my ez-link card value was super low lah, lazy to top up today ma.. Stupid bus 59 never state the correct direction panel properly, wasted 1h in the end. Thought I could rush home earlier to watch tv and do my assignment, ended up missing more tv shows and lesser time for assignment.. Indeed more haste less speed!! Should have just stick to my usual bus 8 lah, dunno why I so gei kiang* (try to be smart alec) lah try out new bus services.. Must remember what Amos tell me always: "kiang ay sai liao, mai gei kiang lah!" Haiz ya ya now I know liao..

I'm so tired, din noe playing hard can be so tiring too. Yesterday night, or rather this morning I could not slp till 6+ in the morning when Papa abt to go work lah. slept for 3h b4 waking up to meet Shi Yun. I'm so dead beat, but I have not finished my boring assignment yet. Darn it, I can't slp early tonite again! Arghh!!!

You heard the latest Horlicks advert on TV lately? The jiggle that goes "Ho Ho Ho~ Vitamins B6 = 48 bananas etc etc"! Well, now we shall call Darren Ho "Horlicks" ar.. Oh ya, he just left for his diving holiday to some island in M'sia! He's been telling me how worried he was if kana attack by whale sharks during the dive out in South China Sea. LOL! God will be there with him and protect him from all harm lah! He make it sound as if he gonna meet God ahead of us 1st, and made me promised his last will.. God, you must protect Darren hor... I rather he everyday call me 'little monster' and irritate me with his nonsense smses n calls ar.. Of cos, nuthin will go wrong, it will be a happy wkend for every1 =) cheers man!!

Pulau Ubin Cycling Trip

Ok guys, I will try my very best to really update this blog that I just revamped. Although it ain't any fanatastic blog, hope you still read lah.. Haha!

Today I went cycling at P. Ubin with Amos, Simon, Darren, Ian, Gladys and my sis. It was a real short one cos we went there in the late afternoon *cos some of us overslept =x*. Did some exploring around the dirt tracks and thru the woods; it was itchy, dirty and hot but we still enjoyed ourselves throughly; all thanks to the wacky company we had! Saw wild boars, made frenz with 1 old village uncle and took pics at the quarry there.. Shall go there again soon with my buddies when every1 is free! Dinner at Changi Village was nice, had curry fish head, deer meat, hotplate tofu n vegetables!! Went home with lotsa mozzie bites and smelly with perspiration, but its gd to sweat the calories out man!!


The wacky kids at P. Ubin quarry!

By the way if you are thinking how I managed to revamp this blog, I think its God's help.. Lolx~ no lah, Blogger happened to change their wadeva template stuff and I needed it anyway so there we go! A neat and readable blog! So easy to edit and it literally spoonfed me!! I have added in the music already, now I thinking how to input pics =) Sorry ar, I quite sua ku in blogging ar..

Now I dun have the mood for my boring assignment so I think I will go to bed soon! Shall proceed to do tml lah, if I wake up early lor.. Oh ya!! I need to help my sis get a laptop for her poly studies nx mth, any1 got lobang for gd ones or wanna accompany me go Sim Lim Sq to buy?? *wave flag.. need help again* Just sms or call me ya, I will gladly welcome you on this shopping trip!

It's late and I have not bathe yet.. Eeeks!! Gotta go now, cheers ^^v !!

Reviving 'Dead' Blog, UTS BEngSc, Cruise, Synerg!z'07

Hey guys, a quick update for all those fellow faithful readers who still look into my blog.. Well i have just started degree nite classes part-time at Air Transport Training College, awarded by University of Technology, Sydney. FYI, im still in SG, not AU. Hahaha no $$ lah! Lotsa assignments to do, what a bore! I dislike theory-based modules, I want to do more calculations and formulas instead!!!

Been wanting to change this cute cute blogskin and stuff like that but I kinda forgot how to do so already.. *need help* I hate doing research abt everything, just a waste of time. I wanna be spoonfed by pple leh...

Alot of stuff have been happening for the past 4 wks since the last entry in Feb. I finally left Infineon Technologies to further studies, went for a very short cruise trip to Port Klang, M'sia. Subsequently, I fell real sick for a wk, learned how to play LAN gaming and pool, courtesy of Amos, Simon and Matthew!

Pics from our short cruise trip!

Port Klang, KL

The most recent event was the Synerg!z Youth Conference'07 at Victory Family Centre, Tampines *that's my church!*, attended by all the Assembly of God SG churches. It was a fanatastic 3 days event, all the youths were totally hyped up for God! Matthew Barnett, Jeanne Mayo, Jeff Deyo etc.. A new encounter, learned lotsa stuff abt current youth topics eg. purity, worshipping Him, the LOST pple out there in this world stuck in the miry clay of SINS! The best part of the conference was the last session by Jeanne Mayo: She's a great speaker, and she made us youths realised that we should not be ashamed of our Lord! Therefore we made this declaration aloud, "I CHOOSE THE CROSS!!!" AMEN~!

The highlight of the worship sessions was Jeff Deyo band!! Whoa, he got the nicest guys there as his band mates. Louis as drummer, Sammy as bass guitarist, Mark *so cute* as the keyboardist, Trent as lead guitarist, and of course Jeff himself as lead singer of the band : *former lead singer of Sonic Flood*. They have great songs and they were very ministering to our hearts.
